Title: Wound dressings having low adherency
Inventor: MELLOR JAMES SEBASTIAN
IPC: A61L15/58
Filed: 2000-03-23
Abstract: The invention provides wound dressings, in particular wound dressings of low- or non-exuding wounds or bleeding wounds. The wound dressings are of the island type, having an adhesive-coated backing sheet (6) and an absorbent island (9) supported on the backing sheet. The island (9) comprises a layer (2) of liquid absorbent material enclosed in an envelope of textured perforated thermoplastic film. The film (3) on one side of the island (9) presents a ribbed or embossed perforated surface having low adherency to the wound. The film (7) on the rear surface of the envelope is perforated and smoothed to provide good attachment to the backing sheet (6) and controlled water vapor transmission rate. The invention also provides a method of manufacture of the wound dressings according to the invention, according to which the absorbent layer (2) is wrapped in a textured perforated thermoplastic film, and the film on the rear face of the envelope is then preferably smoothed by blowing hot air onto it.

Abstract: Ce procédé et ce système permettent de mettre à niveau sur commande la programmation d'un terminal de décodeurs dans un système de télévision par câble. Un ordre de mise à niveau est émis via les installations de télédistribution depuis l'opérateur système à destination de l'ensemble des terminaux de décodeurs. L'ordre de mise à niveau peut être universel ou ciblé. Si l'ordre est ciblé, il sera uniquement mis en oeuvre par un seul terminal de décodeurs ou par un groupe de terminaux déterminés par une adresse unique ou multi-diffusée jointe à l'ordre de mise à niveau. Si l'ordre de mise à niveau est destiné à une mise à niveau universelle, le terminal de décodeurs mettra fin à tous les codes en cours d'exécution ou les supprimera. Ces opérations permettent au code d'amorçage du terminal de se lancer automatiquement et d'acquérir une nouvelle mise à niveau de la programmation du terminal de diffusion via le système de câblodistribution. Dans le cas d'une mise à niveau partielle, seuls les objets spécifiés sont remplacés.

Title: A method for building a file system storage media for mobile computing devices on a network
Inventor: WALKER EDWARD
IPC: H04W8/20
Filed: 2002-02-10
Abstract: In this invention, a block storage device driver implements an abstract interface to a file located on a network that is used as the storage media for the file system of a mobile computing device. When the file system of the mobile computing device requires access to the data, a desktop  agent moves data between the satellite store and the block storage device driver using TCP/IP across the network. The desktop agent moves data in contiguous memory blocks, which are called pages, and recently  accessed pages are temporarily cached in the mobile unit. This invention requires no change to the mobile device resident file system for this method to be implemented.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for the manufacture of corrugated pipes from thermoplastic in which mould segment halves, which complement one another in pairs, are guided together in a circuit along a mould path adjacent to an injection head, are moved apart at the end of the mould path and are returned back to its start separately from one another. The apparatus has a mould path device to move the mould segment halves along the mould path and a return conveyor to return the mould segment halves from the end of the mould path back to its start, with the mould path device comprising a machine table having a lower guide and lower drive means for the mould segment halves and a cover frame secured to the machine table having an upper guide and upper drive means for the mould segment halves. The mould path device and the return conveyor form units separated from one another, with a portal robot fixedly anchored to a base plate being provided as the return conveyor and the mould path unit being a mobile unit travelable on the base plate. The upper drive means at the cover frame have driving pinions which can be driven around a vertical axis and which can engage into racks at the upper side of the mould segment halves such that a vertical offset is possible, for example as a consequence of thermal expansion, between the mould segment halves and the driving pinions. Furthermore, a direct cooling system is provided for the better dissipation of heat from the mould segment halves which circulates coolant through coolant passages in the mould segment halves during the movement of the mould segment halves along the mould path.

Abstract: A method whereby a fair port in a fibre channel arbitrated loop (10) behaves  unfairly during portions of its loop tenancy and behaves fairly during other  portions. In a preferred implementation, the fair port establishes a first loop circuit (160) with an initial destination port during a loop tenancy. Before relinquishing control of the loop (230) to an arbitrating port, the fair port -under the control of a transfer protocol -establishes one or more  subsequent loop circuit (340) with other destination ports. Loop circuits ar e established in sequence without the fair port relinquishing control of the loop and rearbitrating. This continues until (1) the fair port establishes a  loop circuit with every destination port to which it desires to exchange information; (2) a fixed time period has lapsed; and/or (3) a predefined maximum number of loop circuits are established.

Abstract: A relatively low-cost calendering belt having excellent heat resistance and durability comprises a central portion 30, and left and right side portions 20 located at the sides of the central portion. The right and left portions 20 comprise high molecular weight elastic material having greater heat resistance than that of the central portion 30. The central portion 30 is composed of high-molecular elastic material, the durability of which is higher than that of the right and left portions 20. The heat of the calender roll CR is intercepted by a paper W, and consequently is not transmitted to the central portion 30 of the calender belt. The right and left portions 20 of the calender belt, which are not protected by paper W do not deteriorate readily as a result of the heat of the calender roll CR because of their heat resisting property.
